Added on March 2, 2009, 11:07 pmPsyCHZZZ, thanks for the organized schedule. nicely done

I will be there with my wife.

as for food, as asked before, do you guys have any special request for me to smuggle in?
i.e wet keropok lekor or serunding daging or sambal nyonya (can make nice sandwich with eggs).
or, YEOS' sambal bilis? need time to source a good keropok lekor and serunding daging.

but for wet keropok lekor, someone in tokyo would need to goreng them, which he needs to pick it up from me later on.

can anyone bring hot barley tea or roasted green tea or sakura-cha? it would nice to have them with senbei.

btw, is the mat count is enough? seems like gonna be a lot of people heheee

Tanoshi,
you assistance is needed to update the main page, TQ... nanti hilang ini thread.

Added on March 2, 2009, 11:13 pmmy suggestion is (this is just a suggestion).
make egg & mayo sandwich. you can buy eggs, mayo , bread at konbini. as long your hotel room got those water boilers/heaters, can make already.

i think cheaper than buying at store, and confirm HALAL. simple and light , since we are going to STORM TEN-YA!!!!

btw, PsyCHZZZ, would the akiba's TEN-YA able to fit all of us? not the one under the railway tracks right?

tanoshii, u just make small flag, blue color, with tag LYN@Japan. easier hahahha

hopefully bonzaimy not mentioning about those small Malaysia flag i hope. 1 Malaysian flag is ok though, there might be some of msian student would spot us

anyway, be careful in shipping in stuff from japan, better if someone in japan , send to someone in msia as gift....

tips
- put in old clothes and old stuff, giving the custom idea that the item is not merchandise.
- lose the box

if not, free2 you have to give custom 30% duty eksais.
another cheaper is handcarry back lah

tanoshi is turning this thread into a purchase stuff in japan service (similar to those ebay / USA bulk purchase)

pegi sana tadak mahal lah. now flight ticket can get RM1.5k. yen oso came down to RM3.80. tadak mahalll....like zoakies said....not tat expensive lerr...but in order to get the worth of spending the flight ticket, at least 1 week stay is worth it

tanoshii is providing a 'member help member' service....and to get help buying stuff from japan is not something we see everyday

u bring sambal bilis lah. belacan cannot eat raw lerrr....hahahhah. i'm waiting for yen to go 3.7 , then will change partially first (to lock the exchange rate) then before going will change the balance.

you are not planning to get on a full packed train like zoakies , aren't you?


btw, changing money in msia , direct to yen is easier lah. no need to take the hassle of MYR-USD-JPY

keyword is there.

doing master
2 years.

monbusho lah , apa lagi. i'm planning to apply monbusho now for next year.

e-jump,
you are so wrong, visa/mastercard works la in Japan. even Ambank Al-Taslif cards is accepted

no problem on not being able to read or being alone. hm.. 2 weeks trip, i'd recommend tokyo & yokohama only.
if not, your trip going to be very short on each town/place, rather than exploring the full detail of the town. but, it is up to your preference.

btw matt, 3k not inclusive hotel lagi ah? that is more than enough!

Added on March 8, 2009, 10:02 pmif i'm not mistaken , quite a lot accept it...especially around JR station..

btw, do not forget the SUICA+NEX offers ya my friends...

more than enough for single. RM3k is enough (RM1k+ accomodation, RM400 food - JPY10,000 a week for food is a lot!, RM200 train - JPY5000 is enough if you are just taking trains around tokyo)

however, if you plan to go Hakone (recommended for views, cable car, outdoor onsen) you need around JPY10,000 but not inclusive of sleeping there. day trip only.

btw, speaking of onsen, clemong, any traditional/open air onsen around tokyo, within 30minutes train?

Great. found a link. very near . Ueno itself got one.

anyone fancy for onsen? SETA onsen looks nice

Added on March 8, 2009, 10:13 pmkeisei limited express (tokkyu) would costs JPY1050 until ueno.

but if using N'EX , it will cost JPY1500, instead of JPY3,000, and requires you to change train from Shinjuku to Ueno.

i have been taking keisei few times previously (of course la cheap) , but considering to try N'EX, but then changing train is such a hassle.

This post has been edited by keii-kun: Mar 8 2009, 10:37 PM

N'EX - 1hrs 10minute
Keisei Limited Express - 1hrs 30minute... 20minute difference for JPY2,000.00

btw, if you are planning to shop for Nike stuff, go to Minami Osawa town, got Nike factory outlet and Adidas factory outlet. train to & from would costs you JPY1,000.

also you can visit Tama Center where the Sanrio (hello kitty) park hehehe

PsyCHZZZ,

i've been reading some forums on hanami... most people said that Ueno koen would be the most packed area during hanami, so are we definitely going to be at Ueno or considering other place, i.e Shinjuku Gyoen?

for me Ueno koen going to be near so that's fine. but most probably, we need one person booking the mats n place, while one person be the guide from Ueno station to the mats in the park, since both of them should have keitai, rite?

anyway, menu list updated :
- bonzaimy (sambal bilis)
- keii-kun (planning of keropok ikan, but need someone to goreng it, with lingam's thai chili sauce)

great, we'll just stick to Ueno Koen lah. A flag with the two LYN dudes with Msian flag would be nice

and I might be able to be there early since staying around there. we'll have a detailed mob-demob plan later on.

Added on March 9, 2009, 11:15 pmTokunai Pass is similar to Metro daily ticket. looks like cheaper a bit if you have a lot of movement in a day. SUICA card is just like a touch n go, hassle free but paying same ticket price.

let's say, if you a going to 2 places in a day, on Yamanote line, each fare is JPY160, gonna cost you JPY160x3 (assumption) = JPY580. but if you are moving from one station one side to another side, at least 4 station, its worth it. Three place, i.e you're from Shinjuku - Ueno - Akiba - Shinjuku.

funny things, is i dun see Shibuya, Harajuku station there....hmmmm

Added on March 13, 2009, 8:19 amhmm the list does not shows any restriction on foods, so we should be able to bring dried foods, right

ejump, if you are around in end march and early april, there's few of us there, i.e me, matt. if i'm not mistaken, clemong is around too. tanoshii is definitely around. tagging should be ok, depending where we are going and whether you are interested
